Tuesday night is what my kids like to call “Fun Night”. Fun Night usually consists of the kids making their own form of pizza (English muffins, sauce, cheese, pepperoni, etc). My wife and I will usually make a gluten free version for ourselves. Lately that option has also been primal (consisting of almond flour). We missed last weeks fun night because of unforeseen circumstances so we decided to make up for it on Friday.
While the kids ate their pizza, I decided to do something different for the wife and I (mainly because I had no almond flour for crust). Since this was last minute and I was short on time, I put some ground beef in the microwave to defrost. A few minutes later, I took it out, drained the excess grease into one pan and threw the beef into another. While the beef was cooking, I cut up an onion and threw it into the hamburger grease and put a spaghetti squash into the microwave to cook.
After the onions, hamburger, and squash were all done cooking, I set out to make my lasagna. Since my spaghetti squash was small and my pan large, I decided to use a meatloaf pan instead of a typical 9×9 baking dish.
I put my first layer of squash down on the bottom.
I followed that with a layer of beef and onions
and then a layer of spaghetti sauce.
I followed it up with another layer of squash, then meat, then sauce and topped it with some cheese.

The end result was fantastic.
This would be considered Primal because of the cheese but not Paleo for the same reason. Lose the cheese and gain the Paleo tag. Easy enough.

OMG…I going to try this (this weekend)! My boys made English pizzas last night. Thanks for the post:)
Please let me know what you think. I think it would have been better with a flatter pan (8×8) but the meatloaf pan worked great as well.
